Drone weddings & events: 2026 rates, anywhere in France
A wedding filmed by drone means the church exit seen from the sky, the reception venue revealed in its green setting, the cocktail hour captured in a wide shot at sunset, the group photo where no one is missing. The drone brings images to a wedding film that even the best ground videographer cannot offer, while remaining discreet: our sub-250 g aircraft are barely audible at 50 m.
We also cover professional and sporting events: opening ceremonies, open-air trade fairs, cycling races, trail runs, regattas, festivals. The service adapts to your day's schedule, in coordination with your other suppliers (photographer, videographer, wedding planner). Photos are delivered within a week and the edited film within three weeks, with an optional social-media teaser within 72 hours.

Applicable regulations
The key rule for events is the ban on overflying gatherings of people, which applies in every category. We therefore operate around the edges of the event: a sub-250 g drone in sub-category A1 to get close to individuals (guests near the drone are briefed and become 'involved persons'), or a class C2 drone in A2 at a 30 m distance. Reception venues in built-up areas or within airport control zones require specific preparation via the Géoportail drone map, sometimes a prefectural declaration. Height capped at 120 m; night flying is prohibited in the open category, so evening shots are taken at dusk, within 30 minutes of sunset.
Information checked against the regulations in force as of August 2026 (EU regulations 2019/945 and 2019/947, applicable French decrees).
Frequently asked questions
Can the drone fly over our guests during the cocktail hour?
No, overflying gatherings is prohibited by European regulation. We film from the edges at an angle: the result looks like you are above the party without ever putting anyone at risk.
Is the drone noisy during the ceremony?
We use sub-250 g drones that are practically inaudible beyond 30 m, and we never fly during the exchange of vows: aerial ceremony shots are taken at the arrival and the exit.
What if it rains on the wedding day?
Our drones do not fly in rain. If weather prevents flying, we offer to reschedule the aerial part (a couple session at the venue on another date) or refund the drone portion of the package.
